fAbien Rougemont -RedsterDesign

Transportation & Motorcycle Designer

My experience taught me to design a project from scratch to conceptual prototype and industrialization taking in consideration all the industrial aspects.
I've especially developed my management skills during the last 3.5 years where I had to build and plan everything from scratch, the India's 1st International School of Design. I got even more responsibilities and I was strongly leading many transportation and motorcycle design projects that have received recognition and awards.
